title pic My 20s. All of them.

Posted by beth on March 6, 2010

And just like that, my 20s are over. Man, what an awesome decade. I’m going to try to do a recap of all my 20s birthdays and hit the highlights of some of the incredible things I’ve had the opportunity to do in the last ten years. I’m old, though, so I might not remember [...]

Tomorrow is the last day of my 20s. OH MY GOSH. It’s just so weird. I don’t feel 30. I still feel 23. If you were to ask high school senior Beth where she thought she’d be at 30, you would get an answer that in no way resembles my current life. If you asked [...]

I babysat all day today, and while they are cool kids, they wear me out when I have them together because I feel more like a referee than anything else. Within the first five minutes, and then every two minutes thereafter, it’s, “Beth, can you tell her to…” or “Beth, can’t you make her stop…” [...]

Posted by beth on March 2, 2010

I was going to just type all my thoughts while watching Lost and then publish them, but then I realized that the whole post could be summed up in two entries:

WHAT?!?!?!
LAPIDUS!!!!

The end.
This live blogging thing isn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I thought it would require faster typing. Huh. Maybe I’ll try [...]

Posted by beth on February 27, 2010

I was reminded of these little films on Monday at my writing group, and then I was telling Rae about them later – particularly #11, Bluebirds in Spring. But they’re all still so good (well maybe not #5 – it’s not my favorite). If you haven’t seen them in a while, do revisit them. If [...]

Every few months, I get to feeling antsy and what’s-the-point-ish about my blog. Why bother? It’s not like I’m saying anything life-changing or earth-shattering, after all. But then I remember that I just really like doing it, and that some things that happen are just too good to keep to myself. For example, I went [...]

I don’t know if y’all have seen or read The Jane Austen Book Club. I thought it was ok, and it was one of those rare occurrences when I liked the movie better than the book, but that is beside the point. Whether you’ve seen it or read it or not, and regardless of how [...]

First of all, my sincerest apologies for my many days of absence following my return from Portland. I feel like I’ve been caught up in one big Christmas party since then, and it’s been a little weird, quite frankly, all around. I went to the grocery store for the first time the other day, and [...]

This internet connection is being a little bit lame, so I’m going to save the Rome pictorial for another time. They’re all on facebook, though, so you can check them out there, and for now I’ll just say that it was a blast. I like it a lot better than Naples. A LOT.
Anyhoe, I feel [...]

Posted by beth on October 7, 2009

So we got this brochure from the Jehova’s Witnesses in our mailbox the other day, and every time I look at it, I giggle uncontrollably for a full ten minutes. It’s so fantastic. Allow me to share.

Please forgive the fact that it’s backwards. I don’t know how to flip it over because I am basically [...]
